Voorschoten Wapens 1817 Shot Glass Design

This shot glass showcases the historic Coat of Arms (Wapen) of Voorschoten, a municipality in South Holland, Netherlands, as officially granted in 1817. The design is a miniature heraldic masterpiece, packed with symbolic meaning and rich in visual detail.

Central Design: Saint Lawrence

At the heart of the design is a depiction of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Voorschoten. He is rendered in natural colors, adding a layer of realism to the heraldic presentation. The saint is positioned prominently, dominating the composition and visually representing the town's connection to faith and history.

Symbolism in Detail

Saint Lawrence holds two key symbols. In his right hand, he grasps a gridiron, the instrument of his martyrdom. This serves as a potent visual reminder of his sacrifice and unwavering faith. In his left hand, he holds a Bible, complete with red clasps. This represents his devotion to service, scripture, and the foundation of his beliefs.

Background and Color Palette

The central figure of Saint Lawrence is set against a radiant gold (yellow) background. This color, deeply embedded in heraldic tradition, signifies light, faith, and the divine. The contrast between the figure’s natural colors and the golden field creates a striking and memorable image. The gold enhances the visual impact and emphasizes the noble history of Voorschoten.

Royal Embellishment: The Municipal Crown

To complete the heraldic composition, the design features a golden municipal crown above the main elements. This crown, the standard for Dutch municipalities, consists of three leaves and two pearls, adding a touch of regal elegance and symbolizing the official status of Voorschoten. The crown reinforces the theme of civic identity and historical heritage.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
